Adding and Deleting Members

Special Note: By design, the mailing list software will never add the same identical email address to a list that the email address is already on. As a result, you do not need to worry about having duplicate email addresses on your list.

Adding Your Members Initially

If you like, Net Atlantic can add all your list members for you initially at no cost. Email your list to support@netatlantic.com, in plain text format, one email address per line. Any of these formats is acceptable:

bob@somewhere.com (Bob Somebody)
bob@somebody.com
Bob Somebody <bob@somebody.com>
bob@somebody.com Bob Somebody

We can also accept lists in Excel, Access, Word and other popular formats. If you prefer to add your list members yourself, see next.

Adding New List Members with the Control Panel

Under the web control panel click on the MEMBERS button;
Click on the CREATE MANY MEMBERS button;
Paste your members into the Email section of the web page;
Scroll down to the bottom and click on the SAVE button.

The amount of email addresses which can be pasted in at one time can be as high as 5000-10,000 or more. However, depending on your Internet connection and other variables, it can sometimes take longer. Sometimes it can make more sense to simply use add and delete commands by email. See below.

Adding List Members with Email Commands

To add email addresses to your mailing list by email, send email from:

yourname<youremailaddress> to lyris@relay.netatlantic.com

No subject needed.

In the body of the message type (note: each email address should be on its own line)

emailaddress1@domain.com
emailaddress2@domain.com
emailaddress3@domain.com

Note: Use the command above if you want your new subscribers to receive your list welcome message by email. If you do NOT wish to have your new list members get your welcome message, include the word quiet with your message, as below (note: each email address should be on its own line):

emailaddress1@domain.com
emailaddress2@domain.com
emailaddress3@domain.com
